PSYCHOLOGICAL EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS

It is reported that nowadays the number of students with psychological problems in middle schools and universities is growing rapidly. Therefore, many people propose that schools should carry out psychological education. Personally, I entirely agree with this proposal.

First of all, students are the social group most likely to incur psychological problems. Currently, Chinese students are under growing pressure: society puts high demands on them; parents have great expectations of them; and they also set themselves exacting强求 challenges. But the fierce competition of various exams forces them to spend almost all their time on study, which deprives them of the chance to know themselves, or to grasp and apply practical social skills. Moreover, most students are brought up in uneventful circumstances, so they are psychologically immature and fragile易碎的, and consequently lack adaptability. When encountered with frustration or adversity不幸, 灾祸, 逆境, they may retreat or react with excessive过多的, 过分的 "countermeasures对策".

On the other hand, students cannot get the psychological guidance they need. Currently, few Chinese educational institutions have established a psychological health system, and psychological education within primary and middle schools remains nil零. In most cases, students are left to kill the time in their psychological class. Besides, there is not enough communication between parents, teachers and students. As a matter of fact, parents and teachers attach so much attention to young people's study that they often neglect their mental health. All these factors contribute to the increasing psychological problems in students.

In a word, psychological education is imperative 必要的 for Chinese students. All schools should offer psychological education so as to achieve the ultimate goal of education----to foster培养 students' capacity for survival, good inter-personal skill, and the means of advancing human civilization.
